When I think about Sabbath I only really think about "not working". But the Sabbath was not just for not working, but a day dedicated to God. That puts it in a little different perspective for me.

That's an interesting point. But we all get paid in one way or another. It would just be a different model where there were more people spending less time per person to make the church work. A shotgun approach. Not sure from this chapter what's happening and who is getting paid vs. volunteering. But seems like guys like Moses and Aaron and lots more were compensated purely for leadership.
